I think you are taking a lot of extra, unnecessary steps. Do you want a private server, that plays Versus only maps? You can do this by disabling Lobby connect, and having the map startup with a Versus map. Do you want a public server, but it only plays Versus maps? Too bad, the best you are goin

Advertising a public server that will randomly error on 50% of the users out there without warning is impolite to say the least. I'd only recommend this if the server is _not_ publically joinable, but instead is joinable via steam community or similar, so that your users know what they're getting

I am a little confused because of your reply. I don't necessarily want to dump people back to the lobby, but if thats the way to have a versus only server, than thats what I will do. Also since no communities are using my servers now, so it doesn't really matter if people get dropped. Also, does a

haha Wow. I don't get it, why? What's the benefit? If you don't want lobby players on your server, there are much better methods of doing that - and you can just set the startup map to be one of the versus campaigns and your server will be joinable in Versus mode that way. On Thu, 2009-01-15 at 2

I am pretty sure that this always was and always will be a huge hack. You aren't "making your server Versus only", you are hyst making it error and dump the clients back to lobby because it tries to change to a map that doesn't exist. There is no way to make it Versus only. On Thu, 2009-01-15 at
